AURORA | Authorities have arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of first-degree murder nearly nine months after investigators suspect he shot and killed a man in a north Aurora apartment.
Aurora police on Wednesday announced that Octavis Styles, 25, has been arrested in Hollywood, Florida for his suspected role in a fatal shooting at the Windsor Court Apartments the
evening of March 21. Investigators have accused Styles of shooting and killing Surajadin Mohamed Ahmed in unit 105 of the north Aurora apartment building on East 16th Avenue.
Ahmed was pronounced dead at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital shortly after the shooting, according to the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
Police in June asked for the public’s help to locate and apprehend Styles.
Styles remains in the custody of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, police said Thursday. He will eventually be extradited to Colorado to face the charges levied against him in Arapahoe County.
Styles and his brother both played football at Gateway High School after moving to the area from Florida nearly a decade ago, according to Sentinel Colorado reporting from the time.
